Formula 1 may be the arena where speed and competition take the spotlight, but the work that makes it all possible unfolds far from the track. It is the invisible side of a championship which grows more complex with every passing year, evolving into a vast ecosystem that stretches well beyond the performance of a single car. A hidden dimension that deserves a closer look, because only by doing so the scale of the effort behind it can be fully appreciated.
And it is there, in that backstage world of numbers, data, and images, that one of the FIA’s most sophisticated tools comes to life: RaceWatch, the 'digital brain' developed by the governing body in partnership with Catapult. Without it, coordinating, managing, verifying, and interpreting every event in real time during a grand prix would be significantly more challenging.
